Right on. What’s your second language?
LOL...that's not a knock on him, that's kind of normal. Again, I mentioned two guys that clearly had trouble expressing themselves in detail on our own team, the past 7-8 years?! Both guys I mentioned did improve greatly while they were with us, I just thought Saric would be further along. However, he's not the mouthpiece of Philly, Joel is....I'm a fan, no need to get bitchy.

All I was saying is....I don't think he looked unhappy, but he wasn't able to express himself fully and Covington was clearly the talker of the group.
Try being Unai Emery.

Coach of Arsenal in the English Premier League (Football soccer) and had hardly any english when he started. Learning now, but sheesh, he's the coach!

The most underrated part of this deal is Saric’s passing. Next to that his defense. I’m a fan.

I don’t mind fuckin around this year and then adding a rim running defensive oriented athletic big. We need a Capella Montreezl guy. Saric doesn’t solve for that one bit.

I was REALLY encouraged by the Butler-less ball movement last night. A lot of assists and even with horrendous turnovers we won. I noticed that Wiggins became the next biggest stopper. He was Melo like. He just needs to commit to a move quicker. He’s too big a focus to hold the ball. Too much waste.

Add Covington and Saric to what we have and I honestly think we’ll be as good as pre-trade within one or two years. Wolves tho...

I mean he has lived in the U.S for 3 years, and he also knew he'd be coming over for at least a year before he was drafted. Maybe I'm wrong (I've never lived abroad) but I'd like to think I would pick up the local language in that amount of time. I don't really care. Just sayin.

I'm sure he'd be honored.
Did anyone ask Dario how he felt about running a farm after his playing days?
If sid Hartman was there, this wouldn't be a joke.

Why did someone make your name change to Sally when you're quoted?
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.
